Hi. Looking for some help from taiko's here.

Want to replace my dad's '93 Proton Iswara sedan. Currently he using Goodyear Ducaro 175/70 R13. Prices for GY have been going up so want to get some recommendation for other tyre brands for easy city driving. Cheaper better but got so many China / Korean brands out there, don't know which one to choose. Just want to make sure the tyre are still ok

Thanks for many helps.

want cheaper, then use sime tyre or silverstone la ...

but korean tyre much better than china ..

I'm using Astar 300 for my smart forfour... not bad... when it was new. After that, no grip at all. Wheel spins easily.

for old car better to use better tires like continental, michelin, yokohama etc etc as this old car dont have ABS...

Agreed

Wah Astar for Smart 44? Is that from Sime? I thought for a Smart car you'd get one of those Michelin / Conti tyres

Thanks all for the other replies. However I understand the Continental, Michelin tyres are pretty expensive woh. My dad is a pretty safe driver (have to nag him to go beyond 50-60 on normal roads) thats why I'm asking what are the good cheaper brands around hopefully within the RM 100 range. Most of the marque brand tyres sell at least RM 130+.

accident do happen even if u drive slow, just need one skid during wet weather and the cars gone...trust me on this, the proton is not a very heavy car...and besides, it really makes a differences with a car without ABS when u equip it with lousy or good tires

True.
I am satisfactory with GY DucaroPlus, Michelin XM1, Yokohama A drive, Dunlop LM701.

I opt for cheap tires because the car is mainly for night and weekend drive.
